- Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall — Paul Thomas Anderson's 71-minute concert film documents Geese frontman Cameron Winter's solo piano performance at the legendary New York venue in December 2025 and will make its UK premiere at LFF in the Create strand on October 7.
- Mubi acquired global rights outside North America to the film, which will stream on the platform in 2027; Janus/Criterion will handle the North American release.
- Benny Safdie is listed as a producer alongside Sara Murphy, Erica Frauman, and Maggie Ambrose; Safdie was spotted with a camera at the December 2025 shows, when images of Anderson roaming the venue with a large 35mm camera were widely shared on social media.
- The film uses a multi-perspective, multi-format recording approach with warm hues capturing audience reactions, which LFF frames as an 'immersive cinematic experience' whose appeal should reach beyond Winter and the band's existing fanbase.
- LFF runs October 7–18, opening with the European Premiere of Simon Stone's Elsinore (starring Andrew Scott) and closing with the UK Premiere of Jesse Eisenberg's The Debut.
- Other notable new LFF additions announced alongside it include Luca Guadagnino's Artificial (about OpenAI and Sam Altman, starring Andrew Garfield), Robert Pattinson as To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen in Primetime, and Chris Rock's Hollywood-set comedy Misty Green.
Why it matters: **Mubi** locks in a prestige auteur concert film (PTA, 71 min) for a 2027 international release, positioning indie-rock breakout Cameron Winter for mainstream crossover via a festival-stage rollout that begins at LFF's Create strand — while Janus/Criterion picks up the 35mm-shot North American release.
